What's new in C#? Exciting new features in C# 8.0, 9.0 and 10! - Filip Ekberg - NDC London 2023

Here is the meta description: Explore the exciting new features in C# 8.0, 9.0, and 10, including pattern matching enhancements, nullable reference types, and top-level statements, with Filip Ekberg at NDC London 2023.

Key takeaways

C# 8, 9, and 10 have introduced various new features, including pattern matching enhancements, nullable reference types, and top-level statements.
Using declarations enable developers to bring imported namespaces into scope, reducing the need for using statements.
Pattern matching introduces the concept of deconstructors, which allow developers to decompose an object into its constituent parts.
Record types prioritize value-based equality, and record structs can be used to create immutable data structures.
Asynchronous streams enable developers to process asynchronous data streams more efficiently.
The init keyword allows for the creation of immutable objects with default values.
Top-level statements enable developers to write concise code without the need for classes or methods.
The using keyword can be used to enable nullable reference types, making it easier to identify and handle null values.
The ? operator can be used to make a reference type nullable.
Compiler directives can be used to enable or disable specific language features, such as nullable reference types.
C# 11 introduces new features, including both-expression patterns and target typing, which allow for more concise and expressive code.
